Chapter 231 The Proposal (3)
“What’s up with you?” Chen Xiuqi asked again. He didn’t understand Su Yaya’s reaction.
Su Yaya was still imagining the scenes where she begged for help. Her desperate cries echoed in her ears, and her face was pale. She glanced at Chen Xiuqi, stunned, tugging an ugly smile on her face. “Are you coming to me to rehea.r.s.e proposing marriage to An Yutong? I saw that she returned today to look for you.”
Chen Xiuqi knitted his brows. He didn’t understand her words. What does proposing to her have anything to do with An Yutong? She saw that An Yutong went to look for him? But nothing happened between him and An Yutong. Xu Kai and the others were with him. How did she connect him to An Yutong?
“What do you mean by this?” Chen Xiuqi asked unhappily.
“Isn’t’ that the case?” Su Yaya tilted her head and tugged the corner of her lips. The scene where An Yutong took revenge on Su Yaya floated in her mind again as well as the latter crying and shouting for help. Her head hurt a lot. She knitted her brows and said, “Haven’t you always been deeply in love with An Yutong?”
“What does this have to do with An Yutong?” Chen Xiuqi raised his voice. He was a bit angry. An Yutong. An Yutong has been disturbing his plan all day long. He really disliked this feeling.
Su Yaya heard him say, “what does this have to do with An Yutong,” and couldn’t help but laugh. “Aren’t I her subst.i.tute?”
He just had to force her to say this. Chen Xiuqi was really not cute.
“Who said this?” Chen Xiuqi’s heart trembled and an intense and bad feeling rose. He hurriedly explained, “Yaya, you misunderstood. I really want to propose to you…”
“Haha!” Su Yaya laughed and interrupted Chen Xiuqi’s words. She said coldly, “President Chen, this is not a funny joke!”
“I’m not joking. I’m saying the truth.” Chen Xiuqi said anxiously, “I really plan on proposing to you. Otherwise, why did I go through all this work in the middle of the night? Is that amusing to me?”
“Who knows?” Su Yaya tilted her head and said calmly, “Maybe you were just carried away by a whim. Maybe you’d regret it some other day.”
The moment Chen Xiuqi heard this, he knew that nothing good was going to happen next. He reached over to grab her hands. “Yaya, we…”
Before his hand could touch her arm, Su Yaya instinctively moved back. He just wanted to reach over and grab her. Even more, she started looking at him in alarm as if he’d do something bad to her. She wore a fearful expression as she looked at him like a startled rabbit preparing to escape at any moment.
It was at this sudden moment that Chen Xiuqi realized that she was afraid of him after seeing her alarmed expression. She was really afraid of him.
“You’re afraid of me?” Chen Xiuqi found this truth to be too funny. They had been together for so long, yet he didn’t even know that she was scared of him. He asked, “Why are you scared of me? Why wouldn’t you believe that this is the truth?”
Su Yaya looked down. The scenes in her dream were too realistic. She was scared that one day, her dreams would become reality. She bit her lips and said, “Yes, I’m scared of you. I don’t believe you.”
“Why?” Chen Xiuqi felt a pang in his heart hearing Su Yaya confirm his words. His voice was trembling as he said, “Weren’t we getting along well in the past? Weren’t we in love?”
When Su Yaya heard him ask this, she lifted her head and chuckled. “We were clearly just in a contract marriage. What do you mean by being in love with each other?”
Chen Xiuqi’s body trembled. When he met her back then, it was true that he approached her with impure motives. At that time, An Yutong insisted on going abroad, and he couldn’t force her to stay. After being disheartened for a good half year, he coincidentally met Su Yaya. She was incredibly beautiful and met all his criterias. Therefore, he started having thoughts. He wanted to possess her. Just like what he imagined, as he persistently advanced her with promises of money and wealth, she gradually surrendered and became obedient.
